I feel weird. This is the one birthday that changes it all. The law will no longer protect me, responsabilities will come crashing down every wall around me, and.....Now I have to vote.

Eighteen is a good age! Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
You can vote, you don't have to vote.
As for the rest...yep, it's all down hill from here.
Happy Birthday (prematurely)!

You also don't have to bathe or brush your teeth.
But you should.

Alt, I was just about to post a thread wondering where you were... congrats on being 18!!!
Though honestly, I don't feel any different from 17... and I'm seven months past my birthday!
Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
Anti, I don't vote anymore because I feel it only encourages them.
Raia - 18 is a milestone of sorts, but at the end of the day, you probably won't (or didn't) wake up and realize "wow, I'm 18!"
It all kinda blurs together until you hit 30 and wake up wondering, "how the heck did all this happen?"

On my 18th birthday, I was painfully aware that I was responsible by law for my actions, because I got in a car accident and was given a ticket. (I still don't think it was even mostly my fault...) Luckily, it's wiped from my record by now.
I hope you have a terrific birthday, and that nothing bad happens to you.

18 is great because you can buy lottery tickets!
Have a great birthday!

¡Feliz cumpleaños!
If you have any contracts you entered into as a minor that you don't want to be bound to anymore you'd better plan on disaffirming them soon after your birthday.

I bought a scratch-off lottery ticket the day I turned 18. I lost. Haven't bought one since.

Happy Birthday, Altáriël!
Voting is just the way we pick the the person to blame, don't stress it.
You can always take Heinlein's advice: ask a helpful idiot his advice, then vote for the other candidate. Saves time on research, too.

Hey Mormo, who should I vote for?

Happy B-day. You're going to be legal soon! Honestly don't sweat it, it's not as bad as it seems.

Happy birthday! You share the day with my older brother actually--he turns 36 tomorrow.
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
Just read ElJay's post.
Posted by Mormo (Member # 5799) on :
Good one, ElJay. Just for that, I'm going to spread the ElJay Hotty Meme onto AOL. I hope you have spam protection from the DoD. Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :
Ok, so nobody in my family has said anything to me yet. I was almost late to school today.
